Hello all, this is my first post on the forums and I'm new to stoves in general.
I recently took out some old ventless gas logs and I'm exploring my options on what to do with the fireplace, one such is installing a wood burning (preferred) stove. However, the fireplace itself is a bit odd (see pictures below). I have little room to play with since it's a raised platform (see diagram). I'd like a stove that would look good and heat about 1,000sqf. Please see pictures and diagram below. I'd like to keep the project at or below $1,000 if possible. I haven't had a professional inspect the chimney itself yet but plan to do that next week. Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced!
